Transect 2-3 was established along the edge of what the property owner describes as a former <br /> field mad. This field road segment is bordered on either side by upland (on the vvest side by a <br /> former farm field/hay meadow and on the east side by a wooded area populated by grcen ash, <br /> boaeider and buckthvrn among o#her species. The field road exlu`bits wetland characteristics <br /> while the two para11e1 adjoining areas do not. The reason for this change in condition is unclear. <br /> Basin 3 <br /> The third wetland basin on this parcei is classified as a PEMB, Type 2, fresh (wet) meadow <br /> wetland located in a depressional swale. The wetland vegetation was dominated by reed canary <br /> grass (Phadaris arundinacea FACVV�. The hansition to upland can be marked by the change in <br /> vegetation community. The further upslope the more upland species, such as smooth brome <br /> (Bromus inermis FACIn, and Kentucky bluegrass(Poa pratensis FAC)become prevalent. <br /> The soils at sample point 3-1 WET consisted of clay for 30 inches of depth. The web soil survey <br /> indicates the soils series as LeSueur loam. Hydric indic�tor Al2 {Thick Dark Surface) was <br /> present. Sails were moist but not saturated at the time of sampling. The soils at sample point 3-1 <br /> UP consisted of 36 inches of clay with concen�ations below 20 inches and a depleted xnatrix <br /> below 28 inches. The web soil survey indicates the soils series as Le Sueur Ioatn. Hydric <br /> indicator Al2 (Thick Dark Surface)was presen�. <br /> Wetland hydrology was present at sample poiunt 3-1 WET as evidenced by secondary hydrology <br /> indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test). At sample point 3-1 UP no <br /> hydrology indicators were present as it was located upslope approxiznately two feet lugher in <br /> elevation than the wetland sample 3-1 WET. <br /> Area A <br /> Area A is an isolated area lying at the edge of the vacaxrt field and is characterized by a sfight <br /> depression in the landscape.Area A has not been flagged subject to review by the LGU. <br /> Vegetation at sample point A-1 Wet was dominated by reed canary grass (100 percent) with a <br /> canopy presence of silver maple (20 percent). A-1 Up vegetation consisted primarily of <br /> Kentucky bluegrass (50 percent} and smooth brome(20 percent). <br /> The soils at sample point A-1 UP consisted of clay for 16 inches of depth with sandy clay <br /> containi.ng concentrations in a depleted matrix between 1 Cr24 iunches. The web soil survey <br /> indicates the soil series as Lester loain for sample poiat A-1 UP. <br /> The soils at sample point A-1 WET consisted of clay for 20 inches of depth where it changes to a <br /> sandy clay with concentrations. Sample point A-1 WET had hydric indicator Al2 ('Thick Dark <br /> Surface). The web soil survey indicates the soil series as Lester loam. Hydric indicator Al2 <br /> ('Thick Dark Surface)was present at sample location A-1 UP. <br /> Wetland hydrology was present at sample point A-1 WET as signified by secondary hydrology <br /> indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test). At sample point A-1 UP no <br /> hydrology indicators were present as the sample was located upslope, approximately 1-2 feet <br /> higher ix�.elevarion than the wetland sample. <br /> Svobod$Ecolagical Resowces 300&350 Stubbs Bay Road <br /> Project Namb�2(}I4037-Q3 $ prpm <br />
